Starting from Lubenice we walk the heights of the Halm (431 metres) to Vidovic. We get a clear view of the the Televrin’s very own slope and the hotel itself.

Thursday 24-/10/2013 Leisure Time – or not!

We recommend a visit of the Roman town of Osor or the island’s capital Mali Losinj and Veli Losinj.

The hard bitten among us maybe lured into climbing the hill that gave our hotel its name , the Talevrin (589m)

Friday 25/10/2013 - Ustrine – Pogana

We’ll walk the last stretch of the island Cres today past the saltwater marches and the dense Macchia up to the lagoon of Pogana passing abandoned villages on the way. This part of the walk demonstrates best how the islanders used to earn their living: sheep farming, forestry and seafaring. We take the boat back to the hotel. Tonight the chef and kitchen staff of the hotel will treat us to a farewell dinner .
